A young maiden holding a cup and bottle, wearing a headdress of leaves, perhaps the costume of a bhil Oudh, perhaps Lucknow, late 18th Century gouache and gold on paper, in a painted oval, gold-sprinkled inner border, gold floral outer border painting 70 x 48 mm.; page 178 x 135 mm. Footnotes: For a similar type of idealised portrait within an oval, see Oliver Forge and Brendan Lynch, Indian Court Painting, New York 2019, no. 25 (Oudh, 1770). There further comparison is drawn with two paintings formerly in the collection of Sir Thomas Phillipps, Bt., sold at Sotheby's, Bibliotheca Phillippica, part XI: Oriental Manuscripts, Indian and Persian Miniatures, 27th November 1974, lots 750 and 756. Edwin Binney III commented (of a work of 1760 produced in Oudh, by Faizallah): 'The Bhils were an aboriginal tribe in North India, whose nocturnal hunting habits and leaf skirts, like ballet tutus, fascinated late Mughal patrons desirous of local colour. Their 'foreigness' interested the sophisticated Indian art collector' (Indian Miniature Painting from the collection of Edwin Binney 3rd: the Mughal and Deccani Schools, Portland 1973, no. 100).
